The Blinding White Remains of a Dying Sea | Weird Places: White Sands

White Sands National Park is a unique geological and ecological site with over 400 square kilometers of pure gypsum sand. Its formation is a result of complex geological processes over 250 million years, including tectonic shifts and evaporation. The park hosts unique plant and animal species adapted to its harsh conditions, with many exhibiting convergent evolution to blend into the white landscape. This makes White Sands a valuable site for studying both Earth's and Mars' geological features.
